Multicast from customer port

This test checks that customers cannot send IPv4/IPv6 multicast traffic on channels that are already in use. If customers are able to send multicast on such channels, this will consume resources to the detriment of other customers receiving the same channel.

This test needs an external multicast source.

Impact: DoS

Test process

On each channel specified as blocked, Malicious sends multicast traffic to the access port.

Fail criteria

Multicast traffic sent from Malicious on a blocked channel arrives at Customer or ISP.
